"ANOTHER STUFF UP BY A GP"

seriously. . .who oversees doctors oncologists etc? I was meant to wait a month to get my ca125 done, (ovarian cancer test)however i was feeling unwell so i thought nope i know my body ill have an early one so i rang my onoclogists receptionist and said i have a form but do i need to add bloods etc as well (kidney, liver, infections etc) just to check as i had been unwell. She said no. So me being me, i added them. Had the test thursday. get a phone call friday off GP to say kidneys not working and that i would most likely have to go to brisbane today for surgery that was at 9am. He said i would be hearing from him or my oncologist. Did i ever hear from my GP again? NO! If being sick was not enough and the pain i was in I then had to chase up my urologist which makes more sense to me (seeing it was my kidneys, but hey im not a doctor) who was fuming because my GP who found the concern never rang! Someone must be responsible for follow up! seriously! all doctors seem to say but i rang such and such and they said they would follow up. . . in my opinion my GP who found the concern should of made sure that someone got in touch with me and that i was in fact on my way to brisbane and not dead! somewhere! SO i called this morning and thought id ask him what happened. . .nope no apology just well i rang another doctor so off my hands! What is this world coming too!

  1. Mel that is terrible!!!! I don't understand how a doctor can be that negligent... he's dealing with someones life!!!
    Can you imagine as a teacher if we didn't teach a child how to read and when the child or parent was concerned we just said well I knew there was a problem so I called a teacher from another school so I wipe my hands of it... we would be fired.
